Sink repair at your home in Dornie
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Repairing versus replacing in Dornie
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
